Online CEU Courses For MFT Therapists Make Fulfillment A Snap

By Marissa Velazquez


MFT license holders can choose from a plethora of websites to get online CEU courses for MFT license maintenance. These Continuing Educations Units must be taken by practitioners in most states to extend their licenses. Drug abuse and addiction counselors, social workers and other therapists, nurses and nurse's aids all need to do this work. They can log into any of these sites and do the work and sign off.

First, make sure that the site has the relevant information for the license in question. Psychologists and health care workers will need to ensure that the classes are relevant to the state they live in. Search on the relevant state and degree or license and the proper site will come up. Watch for sites that offer a lot. They may seem to have everything, but dig deep to be sure.

Look at the topics listed on the site. A lot of sites serve more than just one population, so they will have classes for nurse's aids and human resources workers. For MFTs, one can find classes on human sexuality from gender identity to sexual healing. Addiction counseling could be covered, as well as how addiction is addressed in therapy. Home violence, partner abuse and elder abuse are also topics covered.

After deciding on the site, go over the exam. A lot of the sites offer the test for free, so the therapist can use the test as the guide. It's the course that costs the actual fee. And if this is not the case, the site will have some kind of outline for perusal.

The process is very straightforward. The format is simple: for one CEU or Continuing Education Unit, the person taking the course is required to sit in a class for one hour, or watch a video for the same time. Alternately, if the student reads four to five thousand words, that is sufficient.

The logistics work out just as easily. Get a few hours for the process and ensure the topics that need to be certified are on the site in question. The readings and literature will be on that same site. Check out the test or the outline and prep for the reading. After spending the time reading, take the test and verify the score. A passing grade is 70 or 75 percent.

At this time, it is good to mention that if there is a time crunch, look over the test in advance. Use it to do a cursory search of the web and find general information about the topic to familiarize with the topic. After the hours for a full review become available, then log into the website, using the test as a study guide, and go through the literature. While good prep for most therapists, these classes are usually have little new material to cover.

Online CEU courses for MFT license holders is the best way to go. No more plane tickets or travel to some remote hotel only to sit in one or two of a collection of irrelevant classes. In the therapist's private time, at home, even in their pajamas, CEU classes can be had over the internet, completed and off the to do list. It's so much easier now.
